Lever action guns are lots of fun.I also picked up a pump action 22 recently,that's fun too.I looked at 22 magnums also but I like to shoot them so much I couldn't afford to shoot it.I shoot both guns hundreds of rounds at a time.I'm glad you liked it.Maybe some day I might get one of them.I kinda like the idea of the extra kick with a magnum rifle.

Good for you Beth ! I love lever guns, they just have a feel to them and it reminds me of my younger years. I always looked forward to when I could go to my uncles and shoot his 39A, that was and is a sweet lil'gun. Guess that's why I wanted to get my son a lever action, so he could enjoy it and so can I.

Took me two years to trade my Brother out
of this 39D......[in 1980]
shootin'-est .22 I've ever seen.
Been through a flood/hurricane and
a sad excuse for re-blueing/refinishing.....
but still one helluva accurate shooter.
A little shorter than the 39A.

Me, personally,.....
I think a scope on the lever gun
detracts from the entire 'culture'
and 'beauty' of the gun.
I love scopes on bolt actions, semi-autos,.....etc.
My sight at 70yrs isn't what it was 50yrs ago.....
or 10......but I think a lever gun needs iron sights.
My opinion, yep,.....and I don't need John Wayne
'raising' from the grave to hunt me down and kick my ass....
because I degraded a legendary tradition.
